The report specifies major findings like how online and offline word of mouth have equal impact in the awareness stage of the buying process. Interestingly, Indians aren't much impacted by word of mouth while researching about the Home Appliances and Electronic category, whereas this impact increases viz-a-viz the other countries in terms of Smart Devices and Wearable Technology category.

As per the study, people below 24 years of age research more than any other age group, while those purchasing Traditional Electronics and Home Appliances are the only decision makers who are not predominantly influenced by word of mouth. In all the countries covered by the research, males below 35 years of age more frequently test, purchase and advocate new technologies at a faster rate than others.

The study also reflects the possibility of buying a second hand device, app or electronic item.
